Who we are
In the future, this will be the place where our team introduces itself. Until then, a few words about us: We’re Mone and Andi Huhn — married, three kids, both teachers, and for many years now on a journey with a God who keeps leading us to places we never would have chosen ourselves. And honestly? We love that.
In the fall of 2022, we unexpectedly met Dr. Gerlind Anders in Jerusalem. Somewhere between hummus, sukkahs, and the Old City skyline, she told us about her projects in Uganda and India. One story in particular grabbed our hearts immediately: a secondary school in rural Uganda — started right in the middle of COVID, serving teenagers from poor families.
Our time at Bethel Church in Redding became a real turning point. There we learned that God still works today just as He did in the days of Jesus. That He’s not after performance or good behavior — but after friendship, love, and real freedom. And that we are not meant to live under a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.
“The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 14:17) What does that look like — in church, in schools, in business, in development work? That question drives us. It inspires us. And it keeps leading us forward.
So we did what you do when you’re curious and you trust God: we flew there. That’s where we met Samuel, the school’s director, and a culture that was completely foreign to us — and at the same time deeply moving.
Looking back, this wasn’t new for us. God has often led us into places we never would have stepped into without Him: Royal Rangers. Two years at BSSM in Bethel Church, Redding. Israel. The USA. And again and again this experience: Jesus has life in abundance for us (John 10:10b).
We’ve been Christians since the 90s — and we’ve seen pretty much everything the free church landscape has to offer: Brethren churches, Salvation Army, Baptists, FEG, ICF, Pentecostal churches. And the big churches too — full of wonderful people! But no matter where we were, we never wanted to just be visitors. One question kept driving us: How far does the Kingdom of God actually go when you dare to try it?
Unser Herz
We believe Christianity is, at its core, a real, loving relationship with God, lived from our identity as His sons and daughters. Jesus brought heaven to earth. He reigns, He speaks, He heals, and He makes our lives new and bright. Through the Holy Spirit in us, we are light and salt in this world.
Knowing and Loving God Personally
For us, everything starts with a genuine relationship with God. Every human heart carries this longing. Peace, purpose, freedom, and blessing flow from His presence — not from programs or perfectionism. Less lecturing about God, more encountering Him and sharing our stories. So we listen to His voice, experience His miracles, and learn to trust His sometimes mysterious ways. Worship and gratitude help us see His goodness.
Heaven on Earth
Jesus never said, “Hang in there, one day it’ll get better.” He brought heaven now. The spiritual world is real — even people with no interest in faith sense that. God still moves through miracles, prophecy, and healing. We represent Jesus as Lord, and His presence, power, and purity bring light into every part of life. Our job: carry the culture of heaven into everyday life — “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Believing in Empowered People
Church isn’t a rigid system — it’s a Spirit-led movement. Less talking about God, more encountering Him. We value freedom over control, family over formality, honor over criticism, and responsibility over passivity. We celebrate people who take risks — and we know mistakes are part of growing up.
The Bible isn’t a dusty museum piece. It’s alive, powerful, and full of invitation to dream bigger and believe bolder. Jesus is our model — and He calls us to do what He did. We share testimonies because they reveal God’s nature and spark faith that He’ll do it again. Theology that “knows a lot” but never risks anything tends to produce Pharisees.
God’s goodness is non-negotiable for us. We don’t interpret Him through disappointment or human logic, but through what He says about Himself. His truth shapes our thinking — not the other way around. We choose trust and hope, and we reject any theology that looks at God with suspicion. We haven’t forgotten that there is an enemy — the devil. And we’re aware that we won’t understand every mystery.
We talk about Jesus without pressure, shame, or accusation. Most people already know their flaws. What opens hearts is the wonder of who God is and what He does. He offers healing, restoration, and a life overflowing with goodness — far beyond what we can imagine. That’s what we want to radiate.
The Kingdom of God is growing. Period. Focusing only on doom and darkness produces fear and hopelessness. The world has enough pessimists. We’re called to bring hope, holiness, creativity, love, and light. (And yes — historically, much of the book of Revelation speaks to the first century church and has already been fulfilled.)
God’s ways often flip our logic upside down. He chooses people no one expects, places no one notices, and timing no one would plan. When we try to push God’s work with worldly tools — power, money, influence — we lose ourselves quickly. Our part is simple: pray, honor, obey. We bring our “breakfast” — the miracle is His. We’re most mature when we become childlike again. The Kingdom of God is not a business.
We don’t believe problems are solved by rich people giving money and poor people receiving it. That creates dependency and fuels poverty and corruption. Real transformation happens when people discover their identity, take responsibility, and build healthy relationships. And yes — we still live generously with our time, resources, and encouragement. Because that’s God’s heart.
Why Greenhouse of En Gedi
The name is not just a creative idea — it is part of our story.
In a season of transition, when we had to let go of the old and step into something new, a close friend shared a prophetic word with us: we would build an En Gedi.
At that time, we were in Jerusalem. So in the days that followed, we made our way into the desert to see En Gedi with our own eyes — to sense what God was speaking. What a place.
For us, En Gedi is…
a place of breathtaking beauty that touches everyone who enters it
a biblical landscape that recalls God’s work and friends like David — a place that strengthens faith
a sheltered valley where people can encounter God personally, each in their own way
a place of formation, where young people grow and mature — entire school classes come here
a picture of unity: layers of rock, all different, fused into one strong, living whole
a sign of partnership between God and people — together creating a place of encounter, life, and renewal
En Gedi is an oasis in the desert, sustained by flowing water — a picture of the Holy Spirit.
And this is our heart: to build a Greenhouse — a protected space where identity grows, calling matures, and people encounter God.
